A nice little US$38K system ... and it's 64bit as well ...
This is great news - congratulations are in order to Dell for being the first to beat the $1 per tpmC threshold for TPC-C price/performance. Yesterday Dell published a result of 38,622 tpmC with a price/performance of 0.99 $/tpmC. Dell used SQL Server 2005 x64 Standard Edition running on an Intel dual-core Xeon CPU (Paxville). This highlights both SQL Server 2005 performance and the TCO advantage of dual-core pricing model. The best results from Oracle and DB2 are 1.81 and 1.61 $/tpmC, respectively. (See the TPC-C Top Ten list http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_price_perf_results.asp.)
